Free NFL Pick
Danny Salazar has been brilliant in his last three going 21-0 with a WHIP of 0.75 and an earned run average of 0.84. He will face a team that has scored a league leading 62 runs over their last five games and has scored six or more runs in seven of their last eight matches. Matt Barnes will make his first start of his career after making 26 appearances out of the bullpen. He didn’t shine in his relief work allowing 14 earned runs on 34 hits and 8 walks in 21 appearances this season. The Indians come into this game a little cold at the plate with a total of two runs scored in their last two, but have been hitting the ball well and should rebound against Barnes today.
